Cat Saturday Ends On High Note
It's always good to end on a high note. The Boomer Muse lives on, but this is the last Cat Saturday. As you may know, it's being replaced with Cat Wisdom 101, but that's not all. Odin wants to tell you himself.
We have Jackson Galaxy of Animal Planet's My Cat From Hell to thank for Odin's flirtation with fame. After my chat and interview with Jackson (posted May 7th), I felt a kinship with a fellow animal communicator and cat lover. Things move fast in media, and before you could say meow, Jackson climbed had out of limo in front of my house with his trademark guitar case stuffed full of cat toys and a publicist from Animal Planet. From a convoy of other vehicles emerged a producer, camera crew and Aasif Mandvi, the correspondent from The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. It proved too exciting for Domino and Gris Gris who fled to parts unknown until the shoot was over. Merlin refused to cooperate and like they say, if you snooze, you lose. That left Odin to save the day.
Odin felt at utterly at home with eight strange men, miles of cables, lights, camera and action and oddly enough, so did I.
They were there to film a segment for The Daily Show, airing in June TBA. Aasif did his usual deadpan mock interview. Jackson played it straight and I had fun, is all I'll say. Three hours of shooting indoors and in the garden will get edited down to maybe five minutes, and mercifully (if there is a God) not more than a few seconds of me making a fool of myself. Jackson is a sweet bear of the man and we enjoyed hanging on the porch. All three episodes of My Cat From Hell airs tonight on Animal Planet, so get yourself to a sofa and watch so it'll get renewed. Your cat will thank you.

I think this may quite possibly be my favorite Cat Saturday ever - you sure are going out with a bang! Love the photos from the shoot, the photo of you with Jackson is wonderful.
I can't wait for Cat Wisdom 101!

Odin looks in his element and I LOVE the pic with you and Jackson.
You both look so relaxed and in tuned with one another like your energies were very aligned. Your both on a cat mission! Looking forward to seeing the piece.

Wow, Odin, you are a star. Good boy. Wish we could see it but we don't get that channel. Maybe you can get a tape of it. That is so great. Too bad Jackson didn't work on Dom. Maybe he could have caught him. Great pictures.

Marg, once it airs , you'll be able to see it online. I wish Jackson could have seen Domino but he's still not well and hid. Odin is still excited and wondered why there aren't camera crews here every day!
